Procedures for Capturing the Engine Debug Log via the Debug Cable
Due to a change in connector shape, a conversion connector is necessary to connect the Debug Cable to the machine.
Additionally, when connecting a USB to the serial cable (cross) and PC, the RC232C-USB conversion cable is required.
Confirm that the main power switch is OFF and the power cord is disconnected.
Open the controller box [A]. (
x2).
Connect the Debug Cable to the relay connector (on top of IOB) for capturing the Engine Debug Log.
There are 2 relay connectors. One cable is marked with an “M” decal to denote the master. The other cable is marked with an “S” decal to denote the slave. Connect the Debug Cable to the M connector when capturing the master log, and connect the Debug Cable to the S connector for the slave log. If you want to capture both logs, prepare 2 Debug Cables and connect them to both the M connector and S connector.
Connect the other end of the Debug Cable to the PC via the serial cable or RC232C-USB conversion cable.
Start “Teraterm”.
At [Setup] > [Terminal], open the Terminal Setup screen and specify the following settings.
Terminal Size : under (80x25)
New Line: Transmit CR+LF
Local echo: Check box on
Kanji (receive): SJIS
Kanji (receive): SJIS
At [Setup] > [Serial Port], open the Serial port setup screen and specify the following settings.
Port: COM x
(x : check COM number with Device Manager of PC)
Baud rate : 57600
Date: 8 bit
Stop: 1 bit
Parity: none
Flow control : none
Transmit delay: 10 msec/char
At [File] > [Log], enter the file name and click “Open.”
Turn on the machine power switch. Enter “ver” in the “Teraterm” window and check for any connection problems (Is a value returned? Is there a mistake for either master or slave?).
Start the job. If log capture has started correctly, the number for “Bytes transferred” increases.
When the error you want to analyze occurs, immediately enter “log” at the “Teraterm” window to capture the detailed log. This procedure downloads the detailed log which is temporarily saved at SRAM.
SRAM can only save a small amount of the detailed log. Therefore, if the “log” command is not entered immediately after the error occurs and another operation (opening/closing the door or running the job again) is performed, there is the possibility that the detailed log from the time of error occurrence will be overwritten.
Click “Close” to close “Teraterm”.
Send the saved log file to your supervisor.
